[Author] Oleg I. Reinov [Title] Around Grothendieck's theorem on operators with nuclear adjoins [AMS Subj-class] 46B28 Spaces of operators; tensor products; approximation properties [Abstract] In 1955, A. Grothendieck proved that if an operator $T: X\to Y$ in Banach spaces has a nuclear adjoint, then $T$ is nuclear provided that $X^*$ has the approximation property. It was shown by T. Figiel and W.\,B. Johnson (1973) that the assumption on $X^*$ is essential. A generalization of Grothendieck's theorem was obtained in 1987 by E. Oja and O. Reinov: The conclusion of the theorem is true if $Y^{***}$ has the approximation property (and the assumption posed on $Y^{***}$ is also essential). A "revised" (more general) version of the theorem was formulated and proved in 2012 by E. Oja for weak${}^*$ continuous operators from a dual Banach space into an arbitrary Banach space. She considered even the cases of $\alpha$-nuclear operators for tensor norms $\alpha.$ We present here, among other results, a "revised" version of Grothendieck's theorem in the cases of $\alpha$-nuclear operators for projective tensor quasi-norms $\alpha.$ This is a talk at the 27th St.Petersburg Summer Meeting in Mathematical Analysis (2018) and also a preprint of the paper that will be submitted to the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications.
